D3 - using strings for axis ticks

Question

I want to crate a bar chart using strings as the labels for the ticks on the x-axis (e.g., Year 1, Year 2, etc instead of 0,1,2, etc).

I started by using the numeric

Answer 1

Thanks for that...I used this function with an inline if-clause to handle a different x-axis series with names instead of numbers.

The factions Array consists of all relevant names sorted by the indexes of the series who then just get matched with its corresponding index in the data.

xAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(xScale)
            .tickFormat(function(d) { 

                if(seriesX == 'seriesValue'){ 
                    return factions[d]}

                else{ 
                    return d}
            })    
         .orient("bottom");
